+The '''Pokérap''' (sometimes stylized as '''PokéRAP''' or '''PokéRap''') is a series of songs that was made popular by the [[Pokémon anime]].  They are the English equivalent of the ''[[Can You Name All the Pokémon?]]'' songs.
-The '''Pokérap''' is a song that was made popular by the {{g|anime}}.  It is the English equivalent of the song ''[[Can You Say Them All?]]''.
-The main purpose of the song was to [[List of Pokémon|list all the known Pokémon]] of a specific generation, it usually rhymes as heard in the [[Kanto Pokérap|original Pokérap]] which had many Pokémon names that rhymed, but no rhymes were made in the [[Pokérap GS|next one]] as there was a limit on names that rhymed. The third [[Hoenn Pokérap|Pokérap]] had rhymes, but didn't rhyme any Pokémon, instead rhyming normal words together or with the Pokémon's name.
+The main purpose of the songs were to [[List of Pokémon|list all the known Pokémon]] of a specific generation. The [[Kanto Pokérap|original]] and [[Hoenn Pokérap]]s rhymed; the former had many Pokémon names that rhymed and the latter rhymed normal words together instead of Pokémon names. Fewer rhymes were made in the [[Pokérap GS]], however.
-Usually the Pokémon would be jumbled up, sometimes not in order of evolution unlike the Hoenn Pokérap which was sung in some of the Pokémon's order (Like the Lotad-line was sung in one line instead of being separate).
+In the first two songs, the evolutionary families would be jumbled up, and sung in different lines or verses. In the Hoenn Pokérap, this rule was not followed; many evolutionary families were sung with two or three of their members back-to-back.
-Currently there are three Pokérap and is suspecting a fourth Pokérap with [[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|the fourth generation of Pokémon]].
+There are three Pokérap songs, one for each of the first three generations. Pokéraps were then retired upon [[The Pokémon Company International]] succeeding [[4Kids Entertainment]] as the new producers of the English dub of the Pokémon anime.

+==Trivia==
+* In the [[Pokémon in South Asia#Hungama TV|second dub]] of [[Pokémon]] in {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, the channel, {{wp|Hungama TV}}, made their own version of a [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#Endings|Pokérap]] however, it bears no resemblance to the original Pokérap and is only called as Pokérap because it was subtitled as such.
+* In the Japanese version of {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, [[Tomoaki Imakuni|Imakuni?]] mentions that he sings [[Can You Name All the Pokémon?]]. In the English localization, he says that he sings the Pokérap.
